There are lots of ways to extract text from pdfs, and to extract comments from pdfs. But are there any ways to extract the text+comments together from pdf files? So that the comment associated with each segment of text is clear.
So far, I have been able to do this using google docs: Export Google Docs comments into Google Sheets, along with highlighted text?
but not using pdfs. Converting the pdf to a docx messes up the formatting very badly, so it doesnt seem to be a viable option.

I was hoping someone could point me to tool/s that allow content extraction from unstructured pdfs like a slide deck.
Unlike a document where we have the usual/expected structuring and delimiters, I need to extract content from slide pdfs where I could have text boxes, graphs, charts, etc.
Also, If you know of a tool that can translate plot images to time series data please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
I just started working on this and wasn't able to find too much information on the web. I tried tika, PyPDF2, and a few more but they all seem to be linear and more suited for traditional text documents.

Do you have Microsoft Excel? If you do, then first convert the PDF to a JPEG.
And with that, go to Microsoft Excel
Create a New Document
Go to the Data Tab
Choose "Data From Picture"
Choose Picture From File
You'll see a couple of instructions. Follow them to complete the process of converting the picture to table.
You'll also have the option of correcting any inaccuracies before adding them to your spreadsheet.
That's all!
I have several word docs (RTF) that have raw data in them that I need to get into Excel. Other than doing a ‘save as’ to text and importing each and every one of them, is there an easier way to import all the data into Excel?
These RTF docs are system generated and contain headers. There are no tables in the docs, but it appears to be set up in column and row format. I have seen some code examples, but I am unable to manipulate the code to get it to work for me.
I've looking to fill out a pdf with a form data, but can only find librarys to make new pdfs or my html layouts into a pdf. I'm looking to simply fill out fields of a pdf.
I'm wondering two things, when a pdf has fillable fields, how can i read the source to see what those fillable names are, and secondly is there a library to do this? I've already looked into node-jspdf, but it doesn't do what I am looking for.
I found this for node. https://github.com/tpisto/pdf-fill-form
I am currently using it and I can pull the fields from a pdf and there is methods to write to those fields and then create a pdf from it..
hoping it works out..

I found some solutions, rtf is the most frequent
please have you same suggestions or personal experiences?
Check ODF (Open Document Format) for a free and open document format that can handle text, spreadsheets and many other things.
See Wikipedia for references.
OpenOffice is one of the many products that do support ODF.
Are you looking for a text format or a text editor ? I guess this is a text format...
Many exist (other than RTF that you already mentionned) such as:
HTML
TeX/LaTeX
nroff/troff
Postscript
Many (more or less) wysiwyg editors are available for the first two.
